The deal is said to involve the Sixers moving their recent first-round draft pick Moe Harkless to Orlando along with Nikola Vucevic and a protected first-round pick, while Iguodala will head to the Denver Nuggets.

The Lakers will receive Howard and Orlando will add Arron Afflalo and Al Harrington to its roster as well.

Early reports involved just Iguodala departing from the 76ers, with Lakers center Pau Gasol heading to Orlando as a part of the deal to land Howard.

Bynum, who was raised in Plainsboro, had been adamant that he wouldn’t sign an extension with any team but the Lakers. He’s been an issue on the court during Lakers head coach Mike Brown’s short tenure and rumors involving a deal to rid the team of Bynum had surfaced as early as the middle of last season. He would be eligible for a $60 million dollar extension or be able to become a free agent after next season and possibly receive a five-year deal worth over $100 million.

A seven-year pro, Bynum set career-highs for both points and rebounds with the Lakers last season, averaging over 18 points and 11 boards per contest. He stands at 7-feet tall and is listed at 285 pounds, possibly giving the Sixers their first true presence at the center spot in over a decade.

Richardson is owed $25 million over the next four years, a manageable number for the Sixers. The 31-year old is on the downside of his career, but averaged just under 12 points per game last season in 29 minutes per game.

Iguodala had his worst scoring season since his sophomore campaign in 2005-06, averaging just 12.4 points per game. The 28-year old has been the subject of trade talks for more than a few seasons, but the rumors seemed to quiet after the eight-year veteran helped the Sixers reach the second round of the postseason last year.
